There were two winners this time! These were fabulous and so were the crab cakes–so we have a tie (I’ll post the crab cakes tomorrow)! The only thing wrong with this recipe? If you’re going to take the time to make them, I’d grab 3 heads of cauliflower. I could’ve eaten all of these myself!! Another tip, when straining the water from the cauliflower, I used one of these soup socks. Made it really easy. I put the sock in a large glass and folded over the ends like I was filling a frosting bag. I also didn’t have the yeast so I just left it out! Thanks, Kari, for this wonderful recipe.

Name: Kari
Recipe Name: Dukanized Tator TotsOriginal Recipe: I adapted this recipe from one I found on yourlighterside.com which was made from cauliflower and parmesan cheese. I simply made it more dukan friendly.

Remove florets from cauliflower and cook, covered, in microwave for 12 minutes. Pour off water and let stand until cool. Process well in a food processor and the squeeze dry in cheese cloth getting out as much moisture as you can.. Place cauliflower in a bowl, add 1 T of the nutritional yeast, oat bran, salt and minced onion. Combine remaining 1 T of nutritional yeast and Parmesan on a plate. Form cauliflower into 1” balls and drop into mixture. Coat with dry mixture. Form into tot shapes. Place tots on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 Degrees for 15 minutes, carefully turning every 5 minutes. These may be frozen before baking and then baked later. Serve with sugar free ketchup or dipping sauce of your choosing. Recipe contains 2 tolerated items (nutritional yeast and Parmesan cheese).

Wow! I never seem to follow any recipe to a tee,this turned out so good. Hubby ate more than I could serve up at one time. It’s very forgiving for my faults. I threw all ingredients together, added more oat bran if looked watery. baked & voila! a winner!Thank You

just a suggestion. I boiled my cauliflower, drained it, but put it back in the pot on the warm element to dry out. left heat on low if needed. No need to squeeze.

Notes from Janice

Hi all! Just wanted to update you on how I'm doing on my diet. I have to be honest and tell you I haven't weighed myself yet. I really couldn't do it two weeks ago but I'm getting ready to do it probably on Monday. I had to get myself ready to see the damage I have done after all that hard work a couple years ago when I reached my goal weight. I tried to go vegan and pretty much ate my way through a lot of carbs. While I'm not happier eating meat, I am happier with the results. I think I need to lose about 20 pounds. I'll know Monday. But I will tell you I feel sooooo much better today than I did two weeks ago. I've definitely lost maybe 5 pounds and I'm on my way again to a much happier me. Stick with it and let me know how I can help!
